Capital District Library Council

The images on this site are a small selection of materials from the archives of the Capital District Library Council (CDLC). The items chosen document the founding of CDLC in 1966, and the Council’s early days serving libraries in the region. We also chose images that show the staff enjoying their everyday work. CDLC, located in Albany, New York, is a regional multi-type library organization serving academic, public, school and special libraries and library systems in ten New York State counties: Albany, Fulton, Hamilton, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Warren and Washington. Our purpose is to enhance access to information, encourage resource sharing, and promote library interests for all CDLC Members.
